In the evening, the commander of the royal cavalry: Rupert, reluctantly gathered six hundred dragoons, and rushed back to reinforce the royal infantry who were struggling to support, because he was worried about the instability of the flanks, so the commander of the parliamentary army, the Earl: Robert Essex, also stopped the attack, which can be regarded as a draw for the royal army, which is known as the "Battle of the Edgey Hills".

But neither side was satisfied with such an outcome, and was unwilling to stop there, and the long civil war of the Stuart dynasty began in such an atmosphere.

Later, on 29 October, the royal army pursued and captured the city of Oxford.

On November 12, Wang's army also captured Brentford, which is 7 miles away from London County, and the capital was in an emergency, but the Parliamentarian army did not lose confidence, but immediately issued a proclamation calling on the masses to resist Wang's army, and soon 4,000 militia troops composed of manual workers, apprentices and civilians rushed to the front, which made the Parliamentarian army instantly increase in strength and forced Wang's army to abandon the plan to attack London County.

On the 4th day of June 1643 in the sixteenth year of Ming Chongzhen, Charles I began to order the transfer of troops to counterattack, so that the entire military situation was very unfavorable to the parliamentary army.

On September 11, Wang's army attacked London County in three ways, and the capital was in an emergency again, and the London County militia united with the surrounding Fangbo County and Baihu District to organize 6,000 and Parliamentarian troops to thwart Wang's attack, and London County once again turned the corner.

But after all, the royal army controlled three-fifths of the country's territory, and the parliamentary faction was always in a passive state, and the parliamentary army was defeated in the early stage of the civil war, mainly because the elders who held the leadership of the parliament wavered and compromised, unwilling to completely break with the king, satisfied with vested interests, and had no intention of overthrowing the royal power, and militarily mainly due to the commander-in-chief: Essex, and others were passive and sluggish, lacked the spirit of active attack, and the army lacked training and poor quality.

At this time, a group of outstanding generals represented by Colonel Oliver Cromwell of the Capitol Army emerged in the army, personally organized the Eastern Union army of 12,000 men, and led his troops to participate in the battles of Grantham, Gainesboro, and Winsby on September 25.

However, Colonel of the Parliamentary Army, Oliver Cromwell, was on the side of Parliament, and after his return to Huntingdonshire, the civil war began, prompting the Colonel of the Parliament Army to quickly build a cavalry of 60 men, and he recruited soldiers from among the religious and ordinary peasants, which made his army brave and disciplined in battle, and the Parliament signed a "Holy Alliance and Pact" with the Kingdom of Scotch (Kingdom of Scotland) According to this treaty, the kingdom of Scozia was not allowed to set foot on the lands of the kingdom of Eria (Stuart).

However, on the 3rd day of the first month of the first month of 1644 in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the Kingdom of Sikozia crossed the border and invaded the Stuart Dynasty without permission.

On 18 March, the royal army, led by the famous commander of the royal cavalry, counterattacked and captured Lincolnshire.

On 9 May, however, the Parliamentarian Eastern Alliance forces recaptured Lincolnshire under the command of Earl of Manchester: Edward Montagu.

On 20 June the Parliamentarian army joined up with the 9,000 men besieging Yorkshire, including 3,000 cavalry of Lieutenant General Oliver Cromwell, and the troops of Baron Thomas Fairfax, as well as some militia.

At this time, the Parliamentarian army besieged Yorkshire, forcing the Stuart king, Charles I, to order the commander of the royal cavalry to go to Yorkshire to relieve the siege, and when the royal cavalry commander arrived, the Parliamentarian army began to retreat to the Marston Heights, and the royal army was stationed in a moor below the heights....

At this moment, the Ming Empire in the eastern region of Sichuan Cheng announced the political envoy of the Chongqing Prefecture, the boundary of the Chongqing Prefecture, the dark clouds were thick, and the night was faintly under the starry sky, and a group of people could be seen sneakily, holding torches and shovels to dig up the soil.

The overseer in charge of the man wearing the armor and the hat and helmet on the side shouted, "Hurry up and work, who is light!" ”

In this way, many people composed of ordinary people and soldiers in the army were digging tunnels, some of them even digging two or three meters deep, I don't know what they were used for?

After the digging was completed, there were soldiers wearing Onishi military uniforms who took bags of things one after another, lowered their heads and went down to the deep trench and began to place them, and the commander in charge of the left guard of the Onishi Front Army: Zhang Qi, he looked at the devices placed by the soldiers, with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth rose and waved his hand, "Pull!" ”

I saw that the outside of the city wall exploded instantly, and the smoke accompanied by the explosion (boom) woke up the Ming soldiers defending the city, first of all, the soldiers patrolling the city of Fotu Pass were alarmed! shouted "Quick, there is an enemy!" ”

Then he ran up to the city tower to fight, and the soldiers in the barracks hurriedly cheered up to get weapons and prepare for battle, but with the thieves and the Great Western Army adopted the method of digging and burying the city, so that many Ming troops who rushed over to raise guns and draw bows on the city tower were shaken down!

Outside the city, the commander of the left guard of the former army of Daxi also cooperated with the Daxi artillery battalion to ignite and open fire, which caught the Ming army off guard and soon couldn't hold on, plus the east gate Causeway Gorge had been broken by the Daxi army before, and for a time the Ming army that could stop the bandit forces was left with only Shizhu Xuanzhi Si Ming Yipin Commandment Lady: Qin Liangyu, the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army led by him, but the rescue of the Sichuan army corps was also being rescued by the king of Daxi: Zhang Xianzhong, and it was difficult to draw troops to deal with the thieves in the siege.

At this point, Fotuguan was broken overnight, and the Great Western Army entered Ba County, the capital of Chongqing Prefecture, surrounded the county with a small number of mountain cavalry, resolutely did not let anyone go, and set up ten bronze Frankie meteor cannons outside the city gate to ignite and bombard.

The thieves were very smart and knew that the Ming army in the city was no longer in the climate, and there were almost no reinforcements around, and they didn't want to force them to jump over the wall, so after sending thirteen solid shells, they stopped shooting and shouted to the city to persuade them to surrender.

Soon the city was in chaos, everywhere you could see the sound of the people and soldiers fleeing, resisting the enemy, the commander in charge of fighting against the thieves and the governor of Sichuan Ming: Chen Shiqi, was awakened by the sound of artillery fire in a desperate battle, he had just changed into a blue shirt with big sleeves when he heard a soldier running over in a hurry, and reported, "Report, Lord Qiqi Governor, something is not good!" Outside the city, there are a group of thieves to surround the county seat, and there are thieves and soldiers at the east gate of our army. ”

In the face of such a situation, the governor of Ming Sichuan only knew that the general trend had gone, so he asked people to summon the deputy envoy of the Ming Guannan military garrison: Chen Qi, let you organize troops to resist the enemy in the whole city to do the last game, but the soldiers are fleeing at the critical moment, and they can hardly form any resistance, but they were captured alive by the thieves who took the county government in one fell swoop, Ming Chongqing prefect: Wang Xingjian, Mingba County magistrate: Wang Xi, Mingba County magistrate: Qin Wenying, Mingdian Jiang magistrate: Ouyang Dongdan, Ming'an Yue magistrate: He Guojin, Mingbishan County magistrate: Li Mo, All of them were captured by the Onishi Army and put in prison to wait for their fate.

In the street battle, the governor of Ming Sichuan fought hard to block the front, and after the fire and ammunition were fired, he killed the enemy with a bow and arrow, and finally fought with the enemy in a white-knuckle battle and was unfortunately captured! Among them, in order to escort Prince Mingruizhuang, Zhu Changhao, who was dedicated to Buddhism and only to escape from the disaster, safely evacuated from Ba County, he actually blew up the suspension bridge across the river and left the soldiers to kill the enemy, so as to cover the successful departure of Prince Mingruizhuang's carriage.

After learning that the good news entered the city, the king of Daxi saw that the captured governor of Ming Sichuan was a talent, so he wanted to persuade him to surrender, so he said: "What a loyal minister and good general!" I Jingxuan needs a hero like you to fight the world, come and let Gu untie you! ”

After that, he dismounted and prepared to tie the rope for him personally, but before he could get close, he was scolded by the governor of Ming Sichuan: "Phew! Is there a loyal minister Yan Zhenqing who surrenders to thieves in this world? Needless to say, if you want to kill, you must listen to the respect, you and other thieves are not worthy of being the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and sooner or later you will be killed, and the ten clans will be wiped out according to the tens of thousands of dead soldiers in the sky. ”

King Onishi, who wanted to spare his life, had no choice but to change his mind and execute him in public when he saw that he was scolding!

The next day, when the Great Western Army cleared the Ming army in Wulong County, they caught the fleeing Prince of Mingruizhuang: Zhu Changhao, the thieves did not dare to make their own decisions but handed over to the King of Daxi for the first time.

So this time there was no hesitation, and he immediately drew his knife to slash and kill Prince Mingruizhuang, but at this time, there were no dark clouds in the sky, but there was a sudden thunder and lightning, and a few thunderous (rumbling) flashed above the head of King Daxi?

The surrounding Great Western Army was frightened by this thunder! The captured officials of the Ming Dynasty said, "This is God bless the Ming Dynasty?" God can't get used to it! His Royal Highness Prince Rui is dedicated to the Buddha, but the thieves are going to kill him today! Aren't you afraid of retribution? ”

King Onishi, who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, also felt that this matter was a little strange? Thinking that he couldn't kill Prince Mingruizhuang, but he couldn't let him go so easily, he beheaded Prince Mingruizhuang's family and the accompanying Prince Rui's Mansion Honor and Guard Division, Prince Rui's Mansion Guard Command and Envoy and the captured officials of Chongqing Mansion, and ordered the Great Western Army to cut off the right arm of 30,000 Ming soldiers before releasing Prince Mingruizhuang alone in the mountains and forests.

On June 23, in the Chongzheng Hall of the palace (Shengjing) city that rose up in the vast grasslands of the north, a group of officials were whispering to each other: "Jurchen language: I don't know what the imperial father and the regent think?" I am afraid that something will happen to our army's rash advance into the Central Plains! ”

Another group of officials gathered together and discussed: "Jurchen language: It is better to take this opportunity for us to make a compromise, and let the emperor let the Queen Mother come forward to suppress this matter." ”

However, some Manchu officials thought it was inappropriate, after all, the Manchu Virgin Empress Dowager: Borzigit Bumubutai, and the Manchu Emperor's father regent: Aixin Jueluo Dolgon, had a close relationship, and it was inevitable that stealing chickens would not lead to rice! Therefore, I am afraid that the work of the upper performance will not work.

Just as the ministers were discussing, Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the Manchu Inner Secretariat Academy who wore a flamboyant trumpet on his head, slowly walked up and looked at the arguing faces of the ministers, he coughed quietly to attract everyone's attention, and saluted with a pat on his sleeves, "Below, I have seen all the ministers and princes. ”

As soon as the etiquette was completed, he was surrounded by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Prince Shuo Zheng: Aixin Jueluo Zierharang, the main Qing warriors surrounded him, and taught him to learn the official dialect of the Ming Jianghuai with some different accents, and asked, "Dare to ask Fan Daxue, now that the Ming Emperor has died in the Central Plains, the Liukou are trying to replace the Ming court, and my Qing Dynasty has besieged the Ming Dynasty three times without success, why did the Liukou enter the capital as soon as he came, presumably the strength must be above the Ming army?" At present, the regent of the emperor's father is recruiting troops to march south, but it is just to fight to the death with the Liukou, I don't know what Scholar Fan thinks? ”

The scholar of the Manchu Secretarial Academy, who had long expected this bureau, thought for a while and felt that the time had not come, and replied, "I don't know about this!" It's just that...? ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone answer: "It's just that the imperial father and the regent have his plans, and the Central Plains Liukou is a group of rabble, so don't worry!" ”
